1.5 Transportation
Motorcycles and three-wheeled vehicles were found to be the dominant modes of transportation. Car ownership doubled since 2015 (Figure 16), even though the 2015 figure is
small. Car ownership was concentrated in the big cities in 2016, with nearly half of the
cars being owned by households in Yangon, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw. Seventy-two
percent of all households with cars were found in urban areas.
